Hi everyone, I’m building a Morse Code website that converts text into Morse code and stores user submissions in Airtable through the Airtable API. The website is connected using JavaScript fetch requests and a Personal Access Token. The issue I’m facing is that records are sometimes created successfully, but updates to existing records either fail silently or create duplicate entries instead of updating the original row.My current workflow is: first I send a GET request using filterByFormula to check whether a record already exists, then I either PATCH the existing record or POST a new one. Even when the API response returns status 200, the Airtable base occasionally does not reflect the expected changes. I suspect the issue could

I am using the Web Prototype agent but I can’t figure out how do you download the design file when it’s complete? I don’t see a download link/button anywhere. 

Hi everyone,We’re a creative/production agency and over the last few years we’ve progressively evolved from using Airtable as a simple operational tool into building a much deeper internal management system.Today we have an ERP-style workflow in Airtable for Purchase Orders: Purchase Orders (POs) Invoice receptions Payment tracking Approval/payment status flows Linked operational and financial information The system is working well operationally, but now we’re trying to solve the next layer:connecting our Airtable PO system with the Google Sheets budget file of each project.Each project has its own Google Sheets budget where production teams manage budget allocations and spending. What we want is to create a bridge between: structured financial/operational data in Airtable and the budgeting workflow inside Google Sheets

Hi All, I’m Dheeraj Sudan from the UK. I’m a software developer and also run a business with my wife Meenu Hinduja. Now, I am working with multiple linked tables and complex automations in Airtable for project tracking and reporting. As the database grows, performance becomes slower and some automations fail unexpectedly. What are the best strategies for optimizing linked records, improving automation reliability, and maintaining database efficiency? Thanks & regards,Meenu Hinduja & Dheeraj Sudan

If you have been using Omni to build interfaces which I love, I’m curious if anyone else has had this problem:Whenever I want to use a field that is a linked field (a person record from another table for example), this never displays on an Omni-built interface. I always have to build a formula field that copies the content (essentially to plain text) and use that field in my interface for it to work properly.Anyone else finding this?

Hello, community. I’ve already submitted my request via the Airtable form, but I wanted to ask if any of you would find this useful as well? Maybe some feedback on this would help draw attention to it. I think it would be great if we could save and select presets of an interface’s settings. For example, I want to see a specific type of task here that I need from time to time. Having a saved setting for this would be great. What do you think?

Hello,The question is fairly simple.I have an Interface page with a button that updates a field called “X” (basically an on/off checkbox). However, I would also like to record which user triggered the button and when it was triggered.Updating the checkbox itself is immediate using a button with the “Update record” action.My questions are: Is there any way to also capture the portal user’s email, ID, or any other unique identifier into another field (let’s call it “Action X triggered by user”) using the same “Update record” button action, or would I need to trigger an automation and run a script? Same question for storing the timestamp when the button is clicked. Notes: I tried using a single line text field for the user, but the value is not dynamic and must be predefined in the Interface button settings. I also tried using a “User” field in the table, but I ran into the sa

I am utilizing the reminder feature in Airtable for the first time. I’ve created a few “test” CRM’s to see how the feature would work for me. Out of 5 “test” CRM’s, only 1 gave me the info I needed. I have attached a picture of what I want vs. what I’m getting. Any idea why one would work and the others do not?  

Using an automation to assign a part number to any part who does not have a part number. Since this database is needing to retroactively run this script one at a time due it is nature of how it assigns part numbers. The best way to do this is to have the script run once, then identify the next record this script needs to run on (next record without a part number) and run again.However as it stands, the second automation run will not happen even when the conditions of the second record are changes to meet the conditions of the automation.Is this a known bug/limitation of airtable automations?

Every time I expand a record, the activity feed panel resets to its system default view of “Comments only” instead of remembering my last selection or having an option to change the default per user. For teams that rely heavily on tracking changes, this means manually switching to "All Activity" or "Revision History" on every single record open - which adds up fast.A simple "remember my last selection" or a setting under personal preferences would go a long way.Would love to see this added. It seems like a small lift with a solid quality-of-life payoff. Anyone else finding this frustrating?Has anyone found a workaround in the meantime? And would others find this useful? If so, please upvote. Happy to submit this as formal feedback to Airtable if there's interest.

I have two tables:InvoicesTime Invoices has a project, start date and end date.Time has a project, start date and hours. I’m trying to find all the time records between the Invoice start and end dates for a project and assign them to the invoice. But when I try to find the time AT only allows static choices, not dynamic. How can I make this work?

Any plans to allow the admins to adjust the user data fields similar to how the bases are configured with the ability to select and hide/delete fields we want to see by users depending on the use case? Or use a field selection similar to Service Now’s field selection? Currently what I see on the Admin panel is very limited and I don’t see the ability to adjust (add or delete)

The recent mobile update killed my dashboard. I use an iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.5.   My dashboard looks right, but I no longer can drill down into the underlying data in the tiles.  It works perfectly on my laptop just not the mobile.   when I click on the tile I just get an empty box instead of the data on my phone.  I put in a support ticket but I need to be able to access this on my phone as I'm in the middle of finalizing sales.  Was just getting ready to upgrade to paid account then this happened.  They said since it still works on my laptop that it isn't the free vs paid account issue.  anyone else having problems?   

Hi All, A couple of weeks ago, we were provided with a quote from sales for the enterrprise edition so we could have our data stored in Europe. After telling them that we’d go ahead with the subscription, the sales person told me that they now needed to get approval. Over one week later, i am still waiting for this approval. I find it very strange. Has anyone else had this issue? What i don’t understand is why they would give a quote and at not have approval for it?

Hello,We are using a script that runs in the Scripting extension - it was developed by a consultant and has been working 100% for many years, so I hesitate to touch it. But now, I have a new requirement that this button can only be clicked if a specific checkbox field has been checked.How can I limit this button to match my new trigger? Thanks in advance - scripting is definitely not my forte. 

Hey Community,Just seeing if there’s still a need for this kind of array function in formula fields?It would compare 2 arrays and remove the values that appear in both.I submitted the suggestion through the idea form, but when I realized it’s an old community idea I thought it might need more feedback/attention.My use cases would be product gap reports in my CRM and non-openers in my email campaigns. What would your use cases be? This is how it works with javascript:const arrA = [1, 2, 3, 4]; const arrB = [3, 4, 5, 6];const difference = arrA.filter(x => !arrB.includes(x)); //Output: [1, 2] Here’s the OP:  

Hey everyone, it’s 2026. We’ve all asked this many times before.But I thought with a new year half way over, people may have seen new tools.Is there a solid mobile-first front-end platform that plays nicely with Airtable? Interfaces is desktop-focused. Softr went backwards. Many others are out of date or just replicate interfaces.Has anyone seen anything new?

Hi community, When exporting a table view to csv, I am having rows get broken up and put on different lines. In the example, in AT, Row 26 is one line. When exported to CSV, the row breaks off at a certain field and goes to the next line. I have tried the download using the web app as well as the desktop app, and opening the csv in Excel and numbers, and get the same problem every time. Any ideas what is happening here? I can’t see any weird formatting in AT that could be making this happen. 

I have been trying to brainstorm a way to report on all the orders in my Airtable system. I would like to be able to pull reports based on some time measurement (weeks, months, just today, etc.). The best way that I can think of is to have a script that creates a “week record” in another table and assign orders to a week. I would then use those week records to report on.This mostly works, but it feels very chunky. Are there any better ways of doing this?

I sometimes wonder why I still pay airtable money. For an application that claims to be good for time planning it’s mad it still doesn’t seem to be able to do time and date maths properly. I am in UK (so GMT/BST) - I want to have a date field and a separate time field, and to be able to combine these two into a calculated dateTimenothing I have tried seems to work reliably for this without jumping the date back to UTC Has anyone found a solution for what should be a trivial task?Thanks Richard

They seem to be permanent. Don’t see any “remove” option?
